What say you?
I’d say people should be limited to one vanity per day.
In their view, only moderates should not be criticized. Conservatives are fair game. This is how it’s always been. They will not “restrain” (Jeb Bush’s words) themselves until all conservative oppostion is removed or coopted.
I’d tell you the same thing I told you on your other thread a few minutes ago. What’s the matter? Didn’t you get enough people there to agree with you?
No, Reagan Did Not Author the Republican’s 11th Commandment
By KITTY BENNETT
As the voting in Iowa draws closer, Republican candidates have sharpened their attacks on each other, drawing a rebuke of sorts from Fox News moderator Bret Baier last night at their debate.
“Ronald Reagan famously espoused the 11th commandment, thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican,” he said. “Yet to varying degrees during this campaign, you’ve all broken that one way or another, broken that vow.”
Neatly sidestepping the question of his own attacks on other candidates, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas responded by questioning the origins of the commandment: “Yeah. There’s an — matter of fact, I think that was the Republican chairman, not Ronald Reagan, that actually said that.”
And he is right.
It was during Ronald Reagan’s first campaign, for California governor in 1965, that the State Republican Party chairman Gaylord B. Parkinson issued his “11th Commandment,” which said, “Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican.” And, Mr. Parkinson warned, “Henceforth, if any Republican has a grievance against another, that grievance is not to be bared publicly.”
Now quit yer damn bickering
